Sanity Blogging
In between snorting down food like a vacuum cleaner, sprinting to the bathroom for personal necessities whenever the kids permit, attempting to sidestep parenting pitfalls with raising the toddler and being the infant’s chew toy, I somehow manage to blog. How the hell does one fit blogging among all the …Read the Rest
I’m A Believer
The wonderful people of Nuffnang and Yehey! invited me and other moms to participate in the Bedtime Discoveries of J&J. For the first few events, I was sadly unable to go as I was 1. Near my due date! 2. In labor, and 3. Recovering! Lolz How incredible was that? …Read the Rest

WEAR YOUR BABY 3: BABY CARRIERS
BABY CARRIERS The best example of a baby carrier with a frame would be the American Indian papoose. It has a frame, straps and paddings. Whenever we’d go malling, we tried using a similar, modern carrier and pouch. An inherited pouch was big and I personally felt it was too …Read the Rest
WEAR YOUR BABY 2: A HISTORY OF CUDDLING
Baby wearing has been around since women figured out that they can multi-task. (I say this as a woman explaining to the men out there reading this.) Think about it. We needed to tend to the fire, wash clothes in the river around the corner (turn left at the two …Read the Rest
